How to Choose a Stain Color for Your Deck
There are a variety of deck stain colors to choose from. You may prefer a natural look, a shade that complements the color of your house, or a contrast that makes a bold design statement.
Transparent Deck Stains
If you prefer the natural look of your deck, a transparent stain might be right for you. The lighter color reflects sunlight and isn't as hot to the touch. Your feet will thank you if you want to enjoy your deck barefoot.
But transparent stains offer little to no UV protection, which can cause the wood to fade or discolor more quickly. A transparent deck stain will show off the imperfections and discoloration in the wood. It's also hard to tell when the seal over your stain is beginning to wear, exposing your deck to moisture damage if you don't catch it in time.
Semi-Transparent Deck Stain
Applying a semi-transparent stain will still highlight your deck's natural wood characteristics but hide more of the discoloration and imperfections. It may be a good choice for older decks. It will also better protect your deck from sun damage than transparent stains.
A semi-transparent stain allows you to match your deck color more closely to the exterior of your home. You should get approximately two years of life out of your stain before it needs to be reapplied.
Solid Deck Staining
Solid deck stain sits on top of the wood. Therefore, peeling is a concern if your deck is not maintained properly. However, it offers the greatest UV protection of all stain types.
Like paint, you have a wide variety of colors to choose for deck staining, so you can easily match your house or opt for a bold color statement.
Our Process
Our Deck Sealing Process
Nothing makes a deck look better or last longer than removing the dirt, grime and contaminants that damage the wood, then sealing it properly.
- 01Pressure wash, clean and repair
Kimberly Painting's deck sealing process begins with skilled pressure washing, cleaning, and any necessary repairs. Nothing makes a deck look better or last longer than removing dirt, grime, and other contaminants that damage the wood.
- 02Seal with a penetrating finish
Next, we coat the surface with one or more layers of a specialty finish that penetrates the wood for water-repellent, mildew-repellent protection. Our products and application process stand up to foot traffic, screen out UV rays for maximum life, and spotlight the character of the wood for an attractive result.
- 03A fully refinished deck
After the cleaning, repair, and deck sealing are complete, your fully refinished deck won't need restoration for many years under normal wear and tear.
Safety First
Why Safety is a Priority
In addition to appearance and functionality, the safety of your family and guests makes proper maintenance a wise investment.
- Though mold and mildew cannot be entirely avoided due to their organic nature, excess moisture and a lack of consistent cleaning allow them to thrive. Most homeowners don't realize that mold is slippery when wet, which becomes an unexpected safety hazard.
- Mold is also a sign of inattention to maintenance as it is often accompanied by other problems such as graying, rotting, and splintering wood.
- Like mold, wood is a natural organic. It swells and shrinks in response to the Atlanta area's daily and seasonal humidity levels. Without regular sealing and waterproofing, moisture swells cause nails to protrude dangerously and the wood to warp and crack.
Our sealing services are designed to protect the wood from fading, warping, splitting, peeling, and cracking to produce longer lasting results. Whether you've got a brand new deck or just need maintenance, depend on Kimberly Painting for professional, lasting deck sealing, staining, and repair.

Excellent work at very competitive prices
I hired Kimberly Painting to do some work on the exterior of my home. Before hiring them, I took quotes from four other painting companies. Not only was Kimberly's quote the cheapest, but it also included the most amount of work. The crew that painted my house did an amazing job. They worked quickly, communicated with me often and we're always on time. When they finished, their work exceeded all my expectations for how it would turn out.
BMB. MurdockGreat company, great results
We are in the midst of a remodel, and used Kimberly Painting to handle all the interior painting: walls, ceiling, trim, and cabinetry. They did a great job, and we are very pleased with the outcome. The people are great, and you get the very real sense that they genuinely want to do whatever it takes to please you. We really enjoyed working with the whole team, the painting crew, the office, and the project manager. A great company.
TBT.H. BarrKind and Hard-Working!
I picked Kimberly Painting randomly, and I'm glad I did. They first painted my interior in 2021, and they just completed my exterior. Both times they did a beautiful job, and the team of painters are always kind and hard-working. The owner, Mark, is easy to talk to, and the prices can't be beat.
